What is the reason for tinnitus?
Anonymous
The Lifehacker has detailed material in which we analyzed the possible causes of tinnitus. Here are some of them.
- Inflammation or foreign body. In the first case, it may be developing otitis media, and in the second — a liquid that has got into the ear, an insect or a sulfur plug.
- Cardiovascular problems. With high blood pressure or atherosclerosis, it is often possible to hear pulsating sounds that repeat the heartbeat.
- Age-related hearing changes.Clicking, throbbing, buzzing, tinnitus are often the first symptom of approaching hearing loss in the elderly.
And you can read more about these and other causes, as well as about the treatment options for tinnitus, in the article at the link above.
